    Charlie Ergen Issues Statement on Net Neutrality Rules

    Ding, Ding, Ding.......we have a winner. You are exactly correct. This is not about preventing ISPs from regulating internet traffic. Sure, that sounds good, but it is a red herring. The ISPs own their networks, who is anyone to tell them how to maintain them? But all that aside, this is indeed...

    I gotta agree with Bob. I just switched from Dish to DirecTV. I had no complaint about Dish other than dropping Voom and the Fox Networks, albeit temporarily. I had never really thought about looking elsewhere, and in fact, when the U-Verse folks came knocking, I sent them packing and told them...

    My wife dropped the 622 off at the Office Depot yesterday as a result of our Dish cancel. I used their $15 label so as not to be bothered. It was not yet noon and it was the 6th Dishnetwork box stacked behind the counter. The Counter girl even asked what was going on. She said she had seen so...

    Goodbye Charlie... (OFFICIAL I am Leaving DISH Thread)

    My wife dropped the 622 off at the Office Depot today since my Dish cancel. It was not yet noon and it was the 6th Dishnetwork box stacked behind the counter. The UPS Counter girl even asked what was going on. She said she had seen so many she wondered if they were going out of business. That...

    I have seen that discussion, but my guess is that there were fewer than 29,000 defective units being sent back, thus likely the majority were indeed cancels (net profit has nothing to do with this). Coupled with the fact that Q3 numbers stopped in September, long before the Fox fiasco and "Get...

    Yes, I found a way to get a US center. Call and cancel, they will send you somewhere in the US. That was the only part of the entire conversation I could understand.

    They might be exempt because it seems that every time I have ever called, all of their employees are overseas. In fact, even when I called to cancel, I was sent overseas. It was not until they realized I was cancelling, that they transferred me to someone that sounded like she was based in the US.

    I was told when I cancelled Dish that they will send me a kit with a prepaid label, and if I used it, I would be charged $15........talk about a kick in the pants

    Guys, do not assume all these boxes are necessarily defective units going back. I know I will be packing mine up in 7-10 days because I switched to DirecTV. I think they are seeing a mass exodus.

    Goodbye Charlie... (OFFICIAL I am Leaving DISH Thread)

    My goodbye to Dish is complete. I went to DirecTV. It took 3 days and 3 techs to get it right (apparently due to a hidden band stop in the line in the wall they were using from my Dish Setup), but in anycase, I now have a whole home DVR with 3 TVs connected to HD programming as compared to my...

    Goodbye Charlie... (OFFICIAL I am Leaving DISH Thread)

    Signed up for Direct TV today over this. After Voom, I have little patience for this. Will now have HD on 3 sets and a package more closely aligned to what we actually watch for the same cost. Not as many channels, but the ones that count.

    DISH Network Software Release Notes 9/30/10

    Agree completely. I find it ridiculously ironic that everyone one except Dish can make their commercials function with proper volume except Dish. Why is it that everyone else has it figured out and they do not? As for SRS Level, screen shots or it didn't happen.

    FCC needs to get involved now

    I am not happy with the Dish situation, but the government does not do anything well. The free market will play out, and a resolution will be reached. When the goverment artifically inflates or props things up, bad things happen.

    Right Network Launches Sept 8, will Dish carry?

    Lock the thread because you can't control yourself when someone asks about a Network which you may not particularly care for or agree with? I asked a simple question with no political discussion. I would very much like the thread to stay open in the event that someone happens to hear something...

    Right Network Launches Sept 8, will Dish carry?

    Certainly was not looking to start a political debate on the merits of the network. I had just seen some advertising and a look at their Facebook page indicates that they are indeed coming to television on the 8th as well. And yes, this is Kelsey Grammar's network. I was just wondering if anyone...

    Does anyone happen to know if there is any possibility, rumors, etc. regarding Dishnetwork carrying Right Network, which launches Sept. 8th?

    charlie chat

    Did Charlie go out for happy hour prior to the chat? Seemed like a trainwreck unfolding before my eyes. Almost as if they cut him off to ensure he did not say something else stupid.

    EHD Problems

    Me too, went into Seagate Drive Manager Utility and it took me all of about 30 seconds. You can do this after it has been formatted as the changes that are made are not made to the file tables of the drive, which are what is formatted.

    Check out the programing on dish now

    Daughter woke up as I was getting ready for work, and at about 6:15CST, I flicked to the Disney Channel so she could watch Handy Manny, however, instead, she was treated to Indian Programming. For a moment, I was like Whoa, I know Handy Manny has some spanish language, but Indian news as well...

    DISH loses 4 more HD channels - 3 Return

    If they are needing to fill the spaces, I seem to remember a suite of 10 or so channels that showed premium original HD. Perhaps parsing that offering down to the 4 best. What was that suite again? I think it rhymed with BOOM! and had some hella awesome horror movies on MonstersHD:yikes Perhaps...
